Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević and his deputies, Danijela Dolenec and Luka Korlaet, have announced a new affordable housing project in Sveta Klara.

They confirmed that at least 1,000 new affordable housing units will be built in the next mandate.

The city is already preparing to start construction on around 300 affordable apartments in Podbrežje.

Additionally, Zagreb has initiated the process of adopting a new Urban Development Plan for Sveta Klara, where about 100 new rental apartments will be built.

Alongside the Podbrežje project, we are also preparing an urban development plan for Borovje, where 600 new apartments will be built. These three projects alone will add 1,000 apartments to the city’s housing stock in the next mandate,” said Mayor Tomašević.
